Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has said that he regrets ever supporting factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
Speaking when Chief Raymond Dokpesi took his PDP national chairmanship campaign to Ekiti, Fayose expressed concern about the crisis rocking the party.
He bemoaned that some people were merely paying lip service to reconciliation efforts in the PDP because of selfish interest.
He said, “I must tell you that I have learnt my lessons from my past experience. I will not openly identify or campaign for a candidate any longer. As part of our great party in Ekiti, I ‘m assuring you that I do not have a personal candidate and God knows I have not spoken to my people about any candidate.
“We will allow God to choose for us this time by ensuring that all aspirants have a level-playing ground.
“I have learnt my lessons on Ali Modu Sheriff and I take full responsibility for the consequences. Imagine, if we have allowed him to get there, with the way he is now behaving, it would have been worse than this.”
